Science Education Minor (M)
Within physical sciences, you can help your students understand physics and chemistry so they can explore their role in the progress of humankind. You will be able to explain to others the study of matter, energy and chemical interactions to inspire use of technology and innovation for good. You will be able to teach about plants, animals and human beings so students can understand the relationship between the spiritual and physical world and body. You will receive instruction in apologetics and faith integration with a nurturing and experienced faculty and will be able to lead discussions on how empirical knowledge and ideological beliefs interact.
You will learn about using technology and science concepts in the classroom. The Science Education Minor is available as a part of the Early Childhood Education Major and the Elementary/Middle-School Education Major. It is licensable (1634) in the Elementary/Middle-School Education Major and includes 18-20 credits.
